Canopy: USDA Forest Service, NLCD Percent Tree Canopy CONUS, from Landsat, read at about 100 metres and weighted by each census block’s homes, so it is the shade where people live rather than across a town’s woods. Prices: Zillow’s typical home value, each town against its own county. The line is a straight fit and describes rather than explains: leafy towns are also older, larger-lotted suburbs.
